Storm Sewer Network Map

Storm Sewer Network Map

Storm Sewer Network Map

(OP)
I am a surveyor / draftsman for and engineering company and I was recently assigned to do a map of our citys storm sewer network.  I was wondering if anyone had any maps they would like to share so I can have an idea on what would work and look the best.

Right now I am using autocad and drawing all the pipes, drop inlets, and manholes in 3d and annotating the pipe size, direction of flow, etc.  I am also using the storm sewer program in our Eagle Point software to set up a map so that when we have to add on to the current system we can use the info we have already gathered to figure the size of pipes and such that we will need.

RE: Storm Sewer Network Map

You might want to consider the Haestead  StormCAD add in.

This will allow you to model the system. The full AutoCAD compatible version should be able to read your 3d input and generate a model of the system. (I only have the stand alone version because I use AutoCAD LT so cannot speak from experience.) You may have to set up the information is some specific way for this to work.

I agree with RDK get the appropriate software and do an analysis of the existing system so you can better understand its limitations. This will also help you to determine which areas may need upgrading to larger pipes, etc.
